Not true! Front flex disc failure resulting in airbag deployment can cause SEVERE damage to the vehicle underbody. Also, just replacing the airbag won't help. The SRS control module must be replaced as well. The cost of the parts, in addition to the probable underbody damage make this one a "no-brainer" for the insurance company, given the age of the car.
